The Apocalpse: St. John Summoned to Heaven

Jean Duvet

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of an arch-shaped engraving. A central figure sits on a throne-like object. The figure has a semi-circle halo around their head. They hold a book in one hand and a scepter-like object in the other. The figure sits on a structure with four legs that taper to a point. The structure appears to be sitting on clouds. The central figure faces right. Their right leg is bent at the knee. There are human-like figures with wings emanating from their backs in the top half of the arch. There are also human-like figures with large eyes and no wings on the top and sides. In the bottom half, a figure kneels on the left. The figure wears long robes. They hold their hands up with their palms facing out. To their right is another figure wearing long robes. Their body faces right. Their head faces left. They hold objects in both hands. In the very bottom center is a cityscape with buildings and water in the foreground. Smoke billows from the city.
